(KUTV) A major breakthrough in 3D imaging might be the answer to bringing holograms to life.
Engineers at Brigham Young University are working on what they call the "Princess Leia Project."
It's named after one of Hollywood's most iconic scenes in Star Wars where the droid, R2-D2 projects an image of Princess Leia calling for help.
Electrical engineers are still trying to duplicate that movie magic from 1977.
But at BYU, a breakthrough in hologram technology might be the secret to unlocking the code of 3D images that float in the air and that you can see from every angle.
